Fuerteventura, Canary Islands, Spain #3: Is it a mirage?

ENG

When bright sunshine mixes with beige sand, its reflection makes the ocean looking almost like a mirage that you can see at specific points in nearby Sahara Desert. African wind makes everything wilder and dreamier and perfectly shaped waves makes you wanna be that surfer that's just put on his neoprene suit, he's grabbing the surfboard and is about to dive into the ocean.

Then the day comes to its end and golden foggy light makes the volcano ground even more black. Is it the mix of black rocks of La Pared and white sand of Lagoon beach, or the salty air sprinkled with desert dust? Is it the ocean, the vast space around you, the seratonin overdose naturally running through your bloodstream? Is that feeling a mirage? It must be. It must be a mirage...

I love your description of Fuereventura and looking at your photos, I'm not suprised that you compared this beautiful island to miracle,indeed, it looks like paradise! :) What's more, I'm so in love with your black dress - it's sheer, so it seems like perfect dress for the windy weather. :) Btw, again, your photos are just terrific! :)
